The Autumn Visitors by Karel Hayes. It follow a family of bears as they head out to enjoy all of the events that autumn brings. They visit a carnival and even go trick or treating, all without being noticed.

I can't think of a story specifically set in Autumn, but the question instantly made me recall the children's series 'The Animals of Farthing Wood'. I remember reading about their struggles throughout the seasons.

My favorite book to read in the fall is A Separate Peace by John Knowles. It takes place during the entirety of a school year, so fall through spring, but the opening setting descriptions are so vivid it always reminds me of fall :)

"The Ocean at the End of the Lane" by Neil Gaiman is my fav autumn book. It’s got that other-wordly twist of NG novels but it’s also incredibly cozy, especially if you listen to him read the audio book :-)

Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories by Roald Dahl: Roald Dahl sure had good taste in ghost stories! The beloved children's book author read more than 700 chilling and thrilling stories in the British Museum Library before selecting the 14 that appear in this anthology. Edith Wharton, Robert Aickman, and other great authors penned the short stories, so the collection is a nice — and spine-tingling — introduction to serious literature for younger teens.

Isn't 'The Secret Garden' essentially an autumn story? I can remember the boy telling mary that the garden was still 'wick' (quick, alive) when she first encounters it and thinks that it is dead. He cuts a branch and shows her that the plant is alive but dormant.******************{in the contest I am Margot C__ on the Rafflecopter}
